About this map

Lawrenceville and its surrounding rural network in Henry and Barbour counties are captured here during a period of steady agrarian life in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the East Fork Choctawhatchee River and Abbie Creek, which carve through the terrain alongside numerous ponds like White Pond and Lake Choctawhatchee. A distinct cultural geography emerges through the concentration of country churches, including Union Grove Ch near Richards Crossroads and Pond Bethel Ch further west.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible at the Strip Mine near Holley Hill and the Jordan Ditch drainage project in the southwest corner. The map documents smaller settlements such as Edgefield and Edwin, providing genealogists and local historians with a precise record of these communities and their local landmarks, from Vickers Hill to the various branches that feed the river system.
